One & Other Numbers

Masterpieces by Alexander Calder are used to practise counting in this artful, read-aloud board book. One & Other Numbers takes children through 25 artworks by Calder, accompanied by a succession of interactive questions that encourage them to notice and count various aspects of his sculptures. Calder's playful abstract shapes add to the richness of the visual arc, while the accompanying text provides humorous and engaging commentary. Readers will not only grow more familiar with numbers and quantity, but also with fine art. Includes a read-aloud 'about the artist' at the end.
